Chapter 498

Although he also hates Shikamaru, there's no need to persecute him to that extent.

Regarding the issue of Naruto's descendants, Xu Feng only mentioned through someone else's mouth that Naruto has a daughter.

[Two years of companionship have ended. Thank you, Teacher Xu, for presenting us with such a masterpiece that will go down in film history.]

[You guys have changed; you don't even call him "Xu the Scumbag" anymore.]

[Actually, compared to a lot of trash in the entertainment industry, I think Xu Feng's character is pretty good. It's said that he's more proactive than anyone when it comes to paying taxes. What's wrong with him just liking to play with pretty girls?]

[Naruto and Hinata had a daughter? Then Sasuke and Sakura should have a boy, right? They can become in-laws.]

[Holy crap, can this pair even end up together? Sasuke never showed any romantic feelings for Sakura from beginning to end, right? I think Karin is more likely than Sakura.]

[Damn, Xu Feng already played this trick with *Bleach* before, giving Ichigo Kurosaki a son without saying whether his mother is Rukia or Orihime. Now there are still *Bleach* fans checking in his comment section every day asking who it is.]

[I heard that an unedited script from Xu Feng's company leaked out, and the wife is Orihime Inoue.]

[You say it is, so it is? What evidence do you have!?]

[No, why are we talking about *Bleach* again? This is the *Naruto* comment section...]

PS: Although I don't want to make excuses, writing in the countryside might have really affected my state.

I don't ask for everyone's tolerance, I just hope to find my state back when writing the next "white moonlight," *Dragon Ball*.

If you readers are willing to give it a look, you can, but I won't force it.

The latest leaked plot of *Boruto* is really something. I've seen enough wife-swapping, but this is the first time I've seen parent-swapping.

After *Naruto* was declared finished, Xu Feng could finally solve a matter he had been delaying for a long time—

The opening press conference for *Ultraman Tiga*.

Speaking of which, it's bizarre; a show is already half-filmed, and you're holding an opening press conference?

Well, mainly because Xu Feng didn't want to steal the spotlight from *Naruto* before.

And now that another major IP has ended, countless fans are eager to know what kind of work will take over the banner of *Naruto*.

That's why it's so urgent; it's what everyone expects.

Facing interviews from countless reporters, Xu Feng had already prepared his rhetoric and said familiarly:

"This is a work dedicated to children and teenagers. In a situation where the relationship between people is becoming increasingly cold and distant, we hope that through this show..."

Xu Feng rambled on for a long time; anyway, it can be summarized in one sentence:

"Our new show is super awesome, everyone come watch it!"

The reporters below blinked, thinking that Xu Feng, this old scumbag of the entertainment industry, is still the same, without the slightest change.

So they turned their attention to others.

"Jay, how is that basketball-themed new work you mentioned at the movie premiere that you will collaborate with Director Xu on? Is it planned to be prepared after this *Ultraman Tiga*?"

It would be fine if they didn't mention it, but as soon as they did, Jay's whole face fell.

Jay's mood naturally hasn't been good lately.

Because after more than a month of filming.

Xu Feng clearly saw.

This guy's talent for acting is truly limited.

Roles like Shinjoh or Takumi Fujiwara, which aren't difficult to play or whose character settings fit his own personality, are fine.

Once it involves a three-dimensional or complex character, he can't handle it.

Not to mention that the acting requirements for Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa are not low.

Furthermore, in terms of personal image, Jay doesn't fit either of them.

Hanamichi Sakuragi is a rebounder.

Jay's physique...

So Xu Feng decisively cut Jay.

"His acting and appearance conditions aren't good enough, so I kicked him out... Regarding this, I hope Jay's fans won't come to scold me, otherwise I'll make things difficult for him on set."

Reporter: ...

So arrogant.

You know, since the Cai Kunkun ranking incident two years ago, those post-05s and post-10s who didn't know Jay's terrifying influence saw for the first time the terrifying appeal of this middle-aged, slightly overweight man in the entertainment industry.

No matter how much they rank for their idols, they wouldn't dare to challenge Jay.

However, Xu Feng didn't seem to take Jay seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, Jay's fans watching the live broadcast of the press conference were very calm:

[Not surprising, after all, everyone knows how strict Xu Feng is about choosing actors. Liu Tao even divorced her husband for him and didn't get many roles.]

[Although I've been a fan of Jay for ten years, his acting... I can understand, I can understand.]

[Currently, the only movies Jay can show off are *Secret* and *Initial D*. The former is a true-to-life performance, and the latter feels like Xu Feng wrote it for Jay based on his own personality.]

[To be honest, Xu Feng has really done his best for Jay. If you still scold him for this, you're really an ungrateful wretch.]

[I'm sad that *Naruto* ended, but I'm also scared that Xu Feng is so productive. Will he retire directly after finishing?]

[No need to retire, resting for five or six years like Jay and then releasing a show is acceptable.]

[Five or six years is too long, right? Two or three years at most.]

Although Jay also knows his own acting ability, being publicly criticized by Xu Feng like this is still a bit uncomfortable.

However, the next second, Xu Feng changed the subject:

"But I wrote another basketball-themed script, this one can be given to Jay, it should be very suitable for him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jay, who was lowering his head in self-isolation, lit up again.

Holy crap, really?

Not to mention Jay himself, even the people in the crew and the reporters present widened their eyes in shock.

Basketball theme?

He wrote another one?

Although they know Xu Feng is awesome, this is too exaggerated, right?

Jay's eyes couldn't help but get a little moist.

He thinks it must be because Xu Feng was afraid he would be sad, so he wrote another basketball script for him.

It must be!

As expected of his good brother Jay!

Jay decides that after the press conference, he must invite Xu Feng to drink milk tea.

"Will you participate in this show, Director Xu?"

The reporters asked impatiently.

"I probably won't. Letting the director of *Initial D* participate in the filming is quite suitable. This year's schedule is packed; after all, I don't have Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Xu Feng joked.

He prepared a new script for Jay... to be honest, Xu Feng also watched it with interest in his previous life.

But how to put it?

It belongs to the type that is good to watch but not "great."

And there are some plots in it that a scumbag like Xu Feng doesn't really want to act in.

"Many fans are worried seeing you so productive this year, suspecting that you plan to retire or enter a semi-retired state like Jay after this year. Is it true?"

Hearing this from the reporter, Jay's expression became a bit strange again.

Why did it involve him again?

Although it wasn't wrong.

After *The Greatest Work*, he really planned not to release an album for ten years.

"Heh, it's just age-restricted. After all, many of the works I write have high school or college students as protagonists. I just want to finish acting these roles before I get too old."

Xu Feng smiled faintly.

If you want to blame someone, blame those Japanese people in his previous life for liking the theme of high school students saving the world too much.

In *Slam Dunk*, a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school students, Xu Feng had to magically change them into college students.

And Xu Feng, this straight man, in order to make himself not look as exaggerated as those actors when wearing a school uniform...
